Rough Consensus Podcast with Lawrence Lepard (Ep #2)

Few people have considered the role of sound money in our monetary system as deeply as Lawrence Lepard. We discuss Bitcoin, Gold, Silver, and the challenges facing central banks on the road ahead.

G’day Folks,

I had the great pleasure of meeting Lawrence Lepard in Nashville, and it was only natural to follow up with a conversation centred on sound money. Without a shadow of a doubt, I would have been a goldbug if Bitcoin did not exist, and I still hold a position, and an affinity for the yellow metal.

In this conversation, I wanted to explore the topics that I think would resonate with my old man (Aussie slang for father). Bitcoin is a completely new thing, and I often find it constructive to explore its nature alongside precious metals which helps keep things in perspective.

We dive into several topics including:

  • The financial performance of Bitcoin

  • The nature of counterparty risk

  • Challenges facing our monetary and financial system

  • The role of Gold, Silver and Bitcoin

  • Breaking down store of value vs medium of exchange

  • Practical tools for individuals to navigate the market

I really hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did, and if so, please consider sharing the episode and giving us a rating on Spotify/Apple Podcasts, as it helps more folks find our work. Be sure to give Lawrence a follow, and stay tuned for his upcoming book!
